I could see a case for not using these devices willy-nilly in a situation where you need to observe strict infection control procedures.....a hospital, say. For sure, I wouldn't have blathered away on a cell phone whilst treating patients back when I had the office. I think it's a bit OTT to think like this with regard to personal use cell phones, though.....just exercise a bit of commonsense about where and how you use them.

If you're really concerned, then keep sterilizing your hands and don't worry about using cleaning products on your touchscreen

Mark my words.....it won't be too long before you see barrier wrap especially designed for cell phones. In all sorts of trendy colours and patterns. You read it here!
